About this ebook

In Bathshebas Levantine Bouquet, BarbaraHantman captures
the Jewish calendar holiday cycle in the opening chapter, "Days
of Smiles and Tears." Chapters on "Hebrew Heritage" and
"The Sacred Tongue" boast linguistic riches of eight bilingual
Hebrew-English poems. "Soaring Minds, Heaving Hearts"
rhapsodizes over such eminences as Moses, Solomon, Halevi ,
Maimonides, Spinoza, Emma Lazarus, C.N. Bialik and Hanna
Senesh. "For the Kinder" sings the praises of Thomas the Tank
Engine, while "Love' s Lessons" concludes with mature love 's
lyrical reveries, wistful childhood remembrance, homage to
Triangle Shirtwaist victims and an altruistic "Prayer for Japan
and the World."
